Teacher Evaluation Form

To the evaluator: The proper selection of students to this program is of significance not only to the Selection Committee, but to the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund. In order to be fair to all applicants we need as much information as possible. It is our experience that the evaluation which is most helpful to the Selection Committee is one which includes statements concerning the student's possible deficiencies as well as strengths.

You may submit this form electronically or print it out and mail it to:
